Rethinking the university explores and develops key critical
debates in the humanities (concerning, for example, postmodernism,
New Historicism, political criticism, cultural studies,
interdisciplinarity and deconstruction) in the context of the
various crises widely felt to be facing academic institutions. The
analysis of the characteristic features of today's university is
guided by a close reading of Derrida's work on the question of the
academic institution, particularly with regard to the motifs of
leverage and disorientation. This important topic has been the
subject of heated debate in recent years and Rethinking the
university offers clear and concise summaries of current work in
the field as well as exploring original and challenging lines of
enquiry on a number of issues of contemporary concern. In
particular, Wortham argues that while Derrida's image of a
university 'walking on two feet' presents us with a potentially
paralysing problem, nevertheless it also enables a strong
affirmation of the possibilities of academic life, work and effort.
